About naming of doubt as such
and disparagement of those in doubt

Doubt is named doubt
because it resembles truth. As for lovers of Allah, their
conviction serves them as light and the direction of the right
path (itself) serves as their guide; while the enemies of Allah,
in time of doubt call to misguidance in the darkness of doubt and
their guide is blindness (of intelligence). One who fears death
cannot escape it nor can one who fears for eternal life secure it.
